  • Helping animals and humans!

    As a seasoned rescuer and dog lover, I started listening to this podcast to hear the lovely stories about dogs and their owners.

    It did not disappoint. I loved the uplifting vibe and time spent with people who adore animals like I do. This season I’m blown away by the deeper discussions of rescue issues and promotion of animal adoption while exploring why others make different choices. It’s all presented with kindness by hosts who also walk the walk in animal rescue. And they’re sweet, funny & ... more

    I cannot wait to listen to more episodes of this podcast! I just discovered this gem as I was looking to grow my knowledge base for the current and future rescue work that I am and will be doing. I didn’t know what this show was, but am so glad I clicked on it! Having listened to only two episodes so far, I find myself looking at the show titles of others and feeling eager to binge listen more. Katya and Jenny already feel like familiar friends, ones that are funny and genuine in an engaging and... more

  • I don’t even have a dog currently, but I can’t stop listening!

    This podcast is for any animal lover who wants to learn more - literally about anything animal related! The co-hosts, Katya and Jenny, are incredibly thoughtful and passionate and always guide the conversation in the most interesting direction. The recent episode with Sue Sternberg was really thought provoking and brought up controversial topics in animal rescue in a way that felt balanced and well-rounded. I will be a life-long listener :)

  • Excellent podcast!

    Thank you for your podcast with Sue Sternberg! She is such an important voice in humane care for dogs. More people in the general public need to hear what she has to say about dogs, their struggles to live in modern life among people, and the kinds of dogs we should be breeding.

    I’m so glad I’ve discovered your podcast and look forward to hearing more episodes.

  • A blessing every week

    I was introduced to this podcaat from CIPYD when Katya was a guest. Honestly I am so glad I hopped over and started following her. Her podcast can make you laugh. cry, and think. Most importantly, it has opened my mind to so many other aspects of loving my animal. The best advice so far? Leave my phone when I take my pups out for a walk. Why? Becuase that is their biggest outting of the day. They live in the house. So pay attention, live in the moment. Cherish every single moment. I h... more

  • The Animal That Changed You

    I absolutely adore this podcast and Katya. I learn so much from her interviews and it’s been everything to me as I learn and grow with my own dog Albert. Katya is an amazing animal advocate and is truly inspiring. I’m so grateful to have found Katya and her podcast and I love each episode and I always learn something from the episode. Katya always goes above and beyond in helping, supporting, encouraging and guiding pet parents in order to give animals the best life possible.

    I cannot think of a person better equipped to celebrate the bond between humans and animals than Katya. Each episode will touch your heart in a different way, and make you even more grateful for the animals that have and will change us as we journey through life.
